This is a question Driven to Madness

Captain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

Those things piss me off more than reasonably.
It's a handy warning (as if the SUV in a built-up suburb that has never seen the red dust of the outside didn't give it away) that there is likely a very bad driver at the wheel.
The reason you don't see them on tradie's utes is that they were going to put them on, but couldn't get the stickers until next Tuesday, but we'll still have to charge you a call-out fee and the rate's now double as it's a bigger job than I thought and I had to get my mate round as well, even though he's only drinking tea.

Yep, they're infuriating.
It's pretty much SUV Hell where I live, and these things are spreading like a medieval plague.

That said, last week I saw one of the most deeply tragic things I've ever witnessed. It was a tiny, knackered old hatchback with a single sticker of a lone woman in the back window. And one of a cat.

Keep an eye on that car for a couple of years - my money says the number of people stickers will stay steady, but the cat stickers will just keep on multiplying.

Christ, that's horriffic.
We get a lot of "I don't have to drive carefully, I have bull bars on my SUV" types here, double-parking outside the schools and on corners. Fuckers.

And they'll be delivered
anytime between 0900 and 1700 on any day from now until next Tues.
"You can be home then, right?"
"It needs to be signed for.. Otherwise we cannot deliver."

We've also doubled the price since you signed the contract,
but as it's only two days before you move house, you have no chance of hiring anyone else to do it, so suck it up.
